that "about to cry" face she made after Kazuma said he'd rather have a special power than her along lol The Aqua abuse has been brutal these past few episodes

her and kazuma went from getting along into squabbling in a single episode

overall still a standard good ol konosuba episode

Wow, finally some development for Erina where she stands up to her father. But this was basically foreshadowed the whole arc. But it's a step closer for her to be shipped with souma so worth.

Wow hisako 2nd in the popularity chart with Alice 3rd. Damn. Erina is best girl? not surprised. : D. I'm just surprised that hisako beat Alice.

I'm surprised both were beaten by Erina. And geez, Souma losing out in his own manga. And I'M SUPER SURPRISED RINDOU DIDN'T WIN WTF

she's the main heroine though. That's like a free pass to being top 2 or 3.

Rindou just doesn't have the screen time.

I think my favourite arc is the dark tournament. Every match felt really important and they gave time for each match as well (would've been fine with 1 episode each, 2 max for fights about toguro, big bosses etc...). The last arc would've been great had they not decided to have everything off screen after the Yusuke fight. Honestly, when they showed the contestants that were Raizan's fighting partners and then showed their spectral powers, I figured that they'll play an important role, especially Enki who seemed to be drawing the most power out as shown by the close-up.

In other words, the result isn't that surprising but I would've loved to see Enki and another of the partners actually fight in the later stages. Also, they never said what happened with Kurama. We know he lost but to who and how? Biggest disappointment for the last arc is that there was so much potential being that the demon realm is vast, much is unknown and we got these new 8+ partners of Raizan who seem to be crazy powerful, enough to make Yomi second guess himself beating anyone and drawing the attention of Mukuro too. They could've explored their past and relation to Raizan etc...

In a way, I am glad that Yusuke lost. As powerful as he got, had he actually won the tournament or even beat Yomi or Mukuro, I think it would've been bogus. Already going toe to toe with Yomi and almost beating him is plenty imo considering their experience, age, power level etc... Then there was all that yellow energy that Yusuke released when he started to think who he was fighting for. They discussed Shinobi's energy but stated it wasn't that so what was it? I was also hoping for a Yusuke vs Kurama or Hiei fight but I guess the writer didn't want them to clash.

Ending otherwise was good. Another episode just exploring everyone's life afterwards to show how they adapted back etc... would've been nice but as you guys mentioned, I think the author kinda gave up. This last tournament which was fun to watch definitely suffered from not having enough episodes dedicated to it. Ironically, I think I liked Toguro as a villain quite a bit. He had that air of being unstoppable and hard to overcome then they decide that he's only B class rofl. That felt like it came from left field but it's the usual for action anime.

Other than that, I did kind of miss the earlier arcs when Yusuke was still slowly leveling up. At the time, any improvements felt profound but now they just practice offscreen and go super saiyan-ish like Shinobu for ex.

The jump in power for Shinobu was freaking unreal. The guy was S-level and he also had that special aura on top of it. My guess was that Togashi wanted to get Yusuke killed to get the demonkin bit so it'll make an impact on the rest of the team who will power up in the process and he gets the powerup as well. Also, dbz did something like this too but for some reason, it felt a bit more natural (think of how we got the android warning, got the weak ones then strong ones eventually cell pops up too or how freiza was known to be all powerful from the time they got to Namek and felt his power level etc...)
